Previous Injuries
This isn’t the first time Dach has faced injury challenges. Earlier this season, he missed 34 games due to a foot fracture. Dach, who joined the Canadiens in 2022, has yet to complete a full NHL season since his debut with the Chicago Blackhawks.
His ongoing injury troubles raise concerns about his durability and impact on the Canadiens’ performance as they navigate the rest of the season.
